Sunset Overdrive Dev Says Xbox One Digital Pre-orders Coming Soon

The ability to pre-purchase games on Xbox One is coming soon, according to Sunset Overdrive developer Insomniac Games.

In the latest edition of Sunset TV, Insomniac's Brandon Winfrey answers a viewer email about digitally pre-ordering the Xbox One exclusive game. Winfrey acknowledged that players can't digitally pre-purchase the game yet but says "soon you will be able to." He also explained that Day One Edition bonuses will come to digital pre-orders, as well as a "nifty-gifty exclusive."

This comes on the heels of Head of Xbox Phil Spencer promising that pre-purchasing and pre-downloading features are still planned for Xbox One at E3 last month. "Pre-buy, pre-download are all things we look at as important to our long term success," Spencer said at the time. While Insomniac didn't touch on pre-downloading, it's not far-fetched to believe both enhancements could come to Xbox One at the same time.

The latest Xbox One update rolled out last week and brought new Snap functionality and voice commands to the console. Microsoft has also recently improved game demo support for the home system.

Sunset Overdrive is set to launch October 28. For more on the open-world Xbox One exclusive, be sure to check out IGN's E3 preview.
